What sells out even faster than the new iPhone 5? Apparently, the new Lightning dock connector adapters, which are now showing a two-to-three week shipping delay as Apple confirms that new handset owners won't be getting a freebie.

Meanwhile, The Next Web published a report earlier this morning claiming that Apple was including a free Lightning to 30-pin Adapter with each iPhone 5. Apple's online store even offered the option to buy an "additional" Lightning to 30-pin Adapter, but this appears to be in error.

"Following the publishing on this article, TNW reader Ryan Moores reached out to share clarification he received from one of Apple’s online sales representatives," the updated report reads. "According to the representative, it is 'an error' and it is 'being investigated at the moment.'"

Bummer, but at least we'll still get those swanky new EarPods as part of the package, right? Right?

What is this? MacLife just posts blatantly misleading titles to articles but this is OK as long as they clean up the misleading title with the details in the article.

Yes, the lightning to usb cables and lightning to dock connector adapters are sold out, but the title makes it sound like Apple does not include a Lightning to USB cable with your new iPhone 5 purchase. The "freebies" refers to dock connector adapters not the lightning to usb cable. Further, the iPhone 5 comes with the cable, charger and EarPods. Sort of like they are freebies that come with the phone you just bought! THUMBS DOWN for seriously misleading article title.
